Read this excerpt from The Riddle of the Rosetta Stone by James Cross Giblin. Only those Egyptians who needed the knowledge for

their professions learned how to read and write. These included government officials, doctors, and priests, as well as the scribes who did the actual writing on papyrus and stone. The schooling of a scribe began at age five or six and was usually completed by age sixteen. Through long, hard hours of practice, the student learned to paint or carve more than six hundred different hieroglyphs. He also learned how to write in hieratic, a flowing form of hieroglyphic writing in which the individual symbols were joined. What inference can be made based on the details in the excerpt? Professional writers in ancient Egypt were highly skilled. Ancient Egyptians read for pleasure. Children in ancient Egypt were treated harshly. All children in ancient Egypt learned to write in hieratic.

Answer:

The inference that can be made based on the details in the excerpt is that professional writers in ancient Egypt were highly skilled.

Explanation:

The passage presents evidence of how writing was an exclusive skill in Egyptian society. It was not taught to everyone in society at large but only government officials, administrators, and doctors or religious figures. The Rosetta Stone has helped Egyptologists to translate ancient Egyptian because there is an Ancient Greek translation of the hieroglyphs on the stone that was discovered in 1799.

Researchers should generally avoid primary sources because truth can be lost when an idea has been interpreted by two or three p
Arlecino [84]

The correct answer is False

Explanation:

Primary sources always reflect the perspective of those who lived or witnessed a specific event; for example, letters written by a soldier in combat about the first world war are considered as a primary source. Therefore, a primary source is a first-hand account, not an interpreted source.

On the other hand, secondary and tertiary sources are those created by others using primary sources or secondary sources, this means they show the interpretation of others, and due to this, information might be inaccurate. This implies secondary and tertiary sources are those that had been interpreted, and therefore the statement is false because primary sources had not been interpreted; also, these are preferred by researches due to this reason.
